The video shows openly gay Shankman grinding up against Cyrus with a drink in hand. It was even reported that several people left the party after the dance display because they felt uncomfortable or had small children with them. Cyrus’ parents were not in attendance.
But earlier today, when TMZ got a chance to chat with Cyrus’ dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, about his thoughts on the video, he replied, “It’s what people her age do.” He went on to say his daughter was just “having fun.”

In Billy Ray’s defense, Miley turns 18 in six months and becomes the arranged bride of Michael Eisner per his severance agreement with Disney. So it’s really not the B-Ray’s problem anymore, and he was also smart enough to take a page from The Book of Lohan by giving himself an ace in the hole. (After the jump.)
